Vintage Zell Majolica 

Beautiful RARE Tea SET

History of pieces: ))) These pieces were found in Carolina Beach, N.C.  A young couple was cleaning the house they had just purchased to renovate when I acquired the set.   Before this, the pieces were produced in Germany at the Zell factory in Badenia; Georg Schneider (by the GZellS marking) I believe was the potter.  Majolica was produced at this factory from 1890 - 1920's.  The set I purchased included a snack set too which matches the teapot.  I still have the snack set and do not plan to list at this time.  Zell was known for making these "snack sets" to match the tea set.  This auction is for what is pictured: Turquoise Basketweave Pattern w/Flowers

Teapot, Sugar & Creamer

Teapot w/Lid~  

Weight & Size: 1lb. 8.4oz approx. 10" length x 7" width x 5 1/2" height

Marked: 2778 GZellS (inside cup) GERMANY X (impressed)

Flaws: flakes, manufacturer's flaws, chip - inside rim 1/8" rub or flake to paint, on each side there is 1/8" to the petal of one flower which I believe was due to no paint before glazing (manufacturer's flaw), 2 chips to base 1/4" where the teapot sits...see picture. 

Sugar w/Lid ~

Weight & Size: 12.4oz approx. 6 1/2" length x 5" width x 4 1/4" height

Marked:  2780 GZellS (inside cup) GERMANY X (impressed)

Flaws: flake & manufacturer's flaw - 1/8" flake on side of finial to lid, 1/8" flake inside of lid, 1/4" rub or manufacturer's to inside rim...see picture, 1/16" flake to edge of base

Creamer ~

Weight & Size: 6.4oz approx. 5" length x 4" width x 2 5/8" height

Marked:  2779 GZellS (inside cup) GERMANY X (impressed) A

Flaws: flakes, manufacturer's flaw - 3 very small areas which may be manufacturer's 1 flake to paint which are pictured with handle on right, 1 very small flake which may be manufacturer's and 1 flake...left side

All pieces have light crazing related to age of piece.  There are no cracks or repairs to pieces.  Glaze shines but does have some minor areas of dullness related to age of pieces.  I have taken pictures of flaked areas of paint and noted them below.  I believe these pieces to be in excellent vintage condition considering age.  Please see all photos and ask questions.  

I have owned this set for five years.  I have seen the pattern once on ebay but never the tea set.   These are fragile and will be packed extra well, shipped priority.   Insurance through INK FROG and delivery confirmation are included at no additional charge.

I list all major flaws found and try to let buyer know about any minor, as well...please see grading system below. As always, I do combine shipping at a discount. Please do not hesitate to ask questions as I usually answer within the day. All my items come from estates, auctions and thrifty hunts so to say they come from a smoke free home means: I do not smoke but items may smell musty or smoky. I do list odors in the auction description. Items come from a pet friendly home.


MINT - This means the item is in new condition with no flaws.

EXCELLENT - This means the item has minor imperfections that are not significant, but would deny a mint rating. For example light soil or light surface scratches from time and storage.

VERY GOOD - Stones are bright. Wear is evident due to age, but not a detriment to beauty and enjoyment of the item.

GOOD - Rhinestones may not be very bright, or the glue holding in the stones has yellowed. These items are bright enough to be enjoyed. Plating may be worn off in places. Small chips may be evident in paint or enamel.

PAYMENT~~~

Paypal ONLY

SHIPPING~~~

Shipping is automatically calculated based on information you have entered. I do encourage shipping insurance at additional cost to buyer. Shipping is discounted when additional items are purchased. There is a minimal fee for handling to cover packaging materials. As stated in my auction above, I do my best to package items safely while saving the buyer as much money as possible. I shop on Ebay too and do not like it when money is made from shipping! If item can be shipped via media mail, please note that it does take longer! Priority mail, from my experience, is the safest and quickest way for your packages to arrive: )))

ABOUT ME~~~

I acquire my items at estate sales and thrift stores. This is a hobby that has become a means to spend more on my collections : ) If you are looking for certain items, let me know! There is no telling what I will come across in my adventures. I do like communication, so please let me know if you are happy with your purchase. I do stick by my motto: "If unhappy, I will make it right."

CONTACT INFO~~~

Do not hesitate to ask questions! If you have not received an answer the same day, resend question. Always contact me via Ebay. I do not always check my personal email.

TERMS OF SALE~~~

1. Please, please, please do not bid unless you are going to pay for item. I only accept Paypal. If item has not been paid within 5 days of auction closing, I do send a friendly reminder. After 7 days of non-payment or communication, I Will report Non-paying bidders by filing a dispute. Once reported, immediate payment through Paypal is required (NO E-checks) or auction is canceled. 2. All items come from estates, thrift stores, barn sales and friends. I do not know if these people have animals or if they smoke. I, personally, am pet friendly (see photo of my babies) and smoke free. I do say in my listing if the item smells or is discolored. I try to list only items that are clean but as you know, many vintage items are delicate and require a professional to clean. Some items, for example, acquire crazing and patina due to age. This cannot be prevented or cleaned. 3. ASK Questions : ) I do not bid on items if I am not completely sure of size, shape, color, length, age, condition......or anything else? I am here to answer your questions::: )))) 4. THANKS!!!
